"I understand. I'll have someone leak this information to the city doctors and let the Fourth Prince hear it from them. It will be more convincing that way."An Xuetang smiled, "That's right, let's do...Shouer still thought that after she had hit the sleep point, Shuangshuang was truly asleep.

Unbeknownst to her, the moment she turned away and closed the door from the outside, Ben, who had been seemingly asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were dark and sharp, devoid of the former 'simplicity'.

She slowly sat up, glancing at the door with a look that meant nothing.

Only after confirming that Shou'er had truly left did she get up and slowly walk to the cabinet. Upon opening it, a bug quickly crawled into her hand and burrowed into the piece of clothing that An Xuetang had taken back.

Shuangshuang curled the corners of her mouth into a cryptic smile, then raised her hand and gently touched the spot where the insect was. “Good work,” she murmured.

After saying that, she withdrew her hand and closed the cabinet door.

Thinking back, she had been crying like that all day, but An Xuetang didn't even come out. Her voice was so loud, there's no way she couldn't have heard it.

And Ning'er and Shou'er, those two girls, wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on her if she hadn't given them the go-ahead.

So she really did suspect her, and once suspicion took hold, she would be on guard against her at every turn.

But that's alright, it draws their attention over there, so the other side… they won't have time for anything else.

This was exactly what she wanted.

......

An Xuetang wasn't sure what Shuangshuang was trying to do. And she was acting so strange today, seemingly inviting her out, but An Xuetang still felt like something might be amiss.

At such a crucial juncture, she didn't dare to overlook any detail.

When she heard Ning'er say that Yun Si had already arranged people to guard outside Shuangshuang's courtyard, she suddenly looked at Ning'er intently.

Ninger: "Huh!"

Why was the Princess looking at her like that

An Xuetang's small mouth pursed slightly, "Has that letter been sent out"

Ninger shook her head slightly, "I've already given it to the people of Xuntang Valley, but he hasn't left yet. He's planning to leave at zi shi."

This letter cannot be sent.

Ning'er, Shou'er, Kang'er: ""

All three were taken aback, looking at their own princess in confusion.

"You should know that the snakes I keep can track by a specific scent and even accurately find the person we're looking for," An Xuetang explained proactively without waiting for them to ask.

Similarly, in this world, not only snakes but also other animals can be tracked by a particular scent. As long as they are specially trained, they can achieve what the green snake can do.

Since I have already suspected Shuangshuang, I must prevent anything that is possible. I suspect she also has an animal like a green snake to relay messages outside.

That letter was written by my own hand, imbued with my scent. If my suspicions are correct, once it's sent, it will be noticed very quickly.

The content of this letter is too important. In such a turbulent time, explosives are their protection, and she won't allow even the slightest mistake in this matter.

So, even though you may not believe Shuangshuang truly possesses such abilities, the letter should still be treated with greater caution.

After hearing their mistress's guess, Ning'er and the others instantly felt their hearts tighten. They knew full well how important the contents of that letter were.

Ning'er clasped her hands together, "Your Highness, what should we do with this letter"

"If you want to, then destroy it first."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "Ning'er, go and get the letter back first."

"Yes."

This is no small matter, Ning'er, hurry.

He came back with the letter shortly after.

"Kang'er, bring over the medicinal powders you prepared earlier."

"Yes."

These powders are things that the Princesses would make whenever they had free time. To be honest, they don't even know what use they have.

At this time, An Xue Tang did not explain. Instead, she took a handkerchief and began to prepare the powders.

She came and went, grabbing many different powders multiple times. Then she sprinkled the powders onto the opened letter.

Then, something amazing happened.

The densely packed words on the letter vanished instantly.

Ning'er and the others looked at each other in surprise.

Even the Queen consort understands this.

Folding the letter like a fresh sheet of paper, An Xuetang looked at Kang'er, "Bring us the spices we have developed."

"Yes."

Use a stronger scent to mask the original smell of the letter.

The writing on the letter was also concealed by her, unless she sprinkled it with a special powder she had invented. Otherwise, no one could ever see what the letter actually said.

After finishing all of this, An Xue Tang handed the letter to Kang'er. "Shou'er and Ning'er both bumped into Shuangshuang just now, no one knows what she is truly capable of. To be on the safe side, Kang'er, you arrange for this letter."

Kang'er nodded slightly, "Yes."

An Xuetang looked at Ning'er again, "The person arranged before still needs to run a trip, and it still needs to be taken with the letter I wrote."

Ning'er and the others quickly reacted to what their princess consort wanted to do.

What a clever ploy to deceive the world!

And if, as the queen suspected, they could use this opportunity to lure out the enemy hiding in the shadows.

An Xuetang had Ning'er prepare paper and ink again, and quickly wrote a few big characters on the letter: "Got scammed Big fool!"

Ning'er, Shou'er, Kang'er: "..."

I never expected you to be such a queen.

An Xuetang didn't see the strange looks Ning'er and the others were giving her. After personally sealing the letter, she handed it to Ning'er, "Just follow the plan."

Ning'er and Kang'er nodded slightly, cupped their hands together, and replied, "Yes."

The two people each took a letter and left.

An Xuetang looked at Feng Ming who was lying on the bed, lost in thought and sighed helplessly.

When will you wake up

......

Yefu

Ye Er was in his study, listening to his subordinates' report. After confirming that Xiao Qin had settled down safely in the Beijang Prince's Mansion, he finally felt at ease.

At this, the guard looked at him in confusion. "My lord, since Lady Hou has already proposed that Miss should stay at Ye Mansion, why don't you agree"

Since their elders didn't trust the County Princess to stay at the inn with her maidservant, they agreed right away to let her stay.

This way, there would be no need to worry about the princess being in danger while living outside.

Ye Er gave him a speechless glare. "Your Highness, as a young lady, spending the night at our Ye residence... Don't you think everyone in the capital would speculate about her with the worst intentions"

“......”

He doesn't understand.

It's just that she lives in the Ye Residence, why use malicious speculation about the county princess

After all, Miss Xiao Qin is not staying at the Ye Residence to do some underhanded dealings.

What malice What speculation

These gossiping women in the capital are truly harmful.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Ye Er didn't feel like explaining. After a moment of silence, he asked anxiously, "Has Daliang come back yet"

"No, sir," the guard replied softly.

He is Xiao Liang, and his older brother, Da Liang, said he was going to find some manpower. But it's been several hours now, and he hasn't returned, nor has there been any news.

Ye Er also realized something was wrong at this moment. He was just about to tell Xiao Liang to find someone when the study door was suddenly kicked open. "But you didn't find the Spirit Maiden, did you Your great-grandfather should have also brought the Spirit Maiden's portrait with him."The abbot's lips curled into a slight smile. "The portrait was b...
